It’s natural to love doing the things we’re good at. As educators it is crucial that we give children the agency and independence that comes with acquiring literacy skills. It’s equally vital that we model reading motivation and our own reading identities. www.sec-ed.co.uk/content/blog...

Reading attitudes matter: Do you know what your students think? - SecEd
You may know if your students can read well, but do they ‘want’ to read? Professor Teresa Cremin urges schools to focus on reading attitudes and children’s sense of themselves as readers

The stories we read as children matter. The best ones are indelible in our memories; reaching far beyond our childhoods, they are a window into our deepest hopes, joys and anxieties. Great tools to reflect on our knowledge of childrens’ texts here: ourfp.org/finding/teac...

Always inspiring to visit our schools. How we show that reading is valued and valuable matters. Enabling environments matter most for our most vulnerable pupils. Here is an example from St Michael’s, Aldbourne Find out more about how our hub works with schools: www.ramsburyschool.org/English-Hub/...
